Abstract

The street takes up most of the public space of a city, the most frequently used by all users. Yet public space does not seem fair when the different kinds of useage and activities are compared to the space assigned for each of them. Contributing to the rise of conflicts and problems that make a poor quality of urban space, which undergoes changes over the years and often does not match the needs of the site and its users. This study proposes a redesign of some streets of Campina Grande's historical city center, in the state of Paraiba. Based on data collected on site and with public and private agencies, it was sought a diagnosis of the area's people flow, the behavior of the users, their needs, useage of the space, location and characterization of its infrastructure. Conducting the development of guidelines and actions that have guided the final project proposal, which provides a redesign that seeks fairness of the space towards the users, increasing areas for the pedestrians, encouraging and prioritizing trips on foot, by non

­motorized means and also public transportation, enabling the creation of new usage and spaces to meet and linger.
